If a player is primarily relied on for a checking or energy role, but has the instincts and ability to step up at important times, then that is a good quality to have. If you are talking about a player that is always counted on to score and is played for that purpose, I don't think it is as meaningful... being "clutch" in that situation would be expected and not an added value. It would probably also be a more of a factor of circumstance.

Or not for points but for whole game performance when it really matters like say, Claude Lemieux [spits] in the POs.
